It was once a treasure of the Emperor of Japan! Taiwan black tea smells again after the reconstruction of Yuchi Township 921.

Yuchi Township is located in the center of Nantou County, the heart of Taiwan. It can be said to be the most famous producing area of black tea in Taiwan. It belongs to the rugged hilly basin topography, with stable humidity, and the unique geographical environment of 600 to 800 meters above sea level, changeable slope direction and brick red soil. Wild camellia with wonderful taste has been found in the early days.

Yuchi black tea was once selected as the royal treasure of the emperor of Japan.

During the Japanese occupation era, the Japanese found that the planting environment of Sun Moon Lake was very similar to that of Assam Tea area in India, so it opened up the development of black tea industry in Yuchi Township, and Yuchi black tea was elected as an imperial treasure to pay tribute to the Japanese emperor, creating an internationally renowned era of scenery for the Fish Pond and Sun Moon Lake area. The Sun Moon Lake area has become the only producing area of Assam black tea in Taiwan, and during the Japanese occupation era, the Government House also set up a black tea laboratory here to promote Assam black tea.

Taiwan's black tea industry is inferior to foreign low-priced black tea.

Taiwan's black tea industry exported until the end of the Japanese occupation, and it peaked in 1934, becoming the third kind of tea exported besides oolong tea and seed tea. However, since 1971, due to the high wages in Taiwan, especially those in other industries, which have led to an outflow of manpower, the green tea has been outflowed by low-priced black tea from abroad, and later, the government has been more active in promoting oolong tea. As a result, the black tea industry has fallen even worse.

The 921 earthquake shocked the freshmen of black tea.

When a major earthquake occurred in Taiwan on September 21, 1999, Yuchi Township in Nantou became one of the hardest hit areas, which unexpectedly gave rise to a new opportunity for black tea. The government promoted post-disaster reconstruction projects, tea conversion to fish ponds, and other cooperation to re-foster the black tea industry. In 2003, Yuchi Rural Office began to hold Assam Black Tea Culture season, which put Taiwan Tea No. 8 and Taiwan Tea No. 18 "Hongyu" on the market. Now, the younger generation inherits the fragrance of Yuchi black tea, and Yuchi Township has become the most famous area of black tea in Taiwan. It has led the highly educated and young generation to return home to grow and make tea, and has also created many new brands. Tea house's new generation of tea farmers have targeted young ethnic groups and made concerted efforts, among which "Hotan Forest", which can experience the method of kneading tea, and the "Liao Township Black Tea Story", which can visit the cultural relics of tea-making machines, and Mr. Guo Shaosan, who has the title of "Grandpa of Black Tea", has won awards every year. "Dongbang Black Tea" has attracted the most attention.
